DIY: Real Mugen Vent Visor Install

[boostedLSb18]

This is my first attempt at a DIY, so please bear with me.

I purchased my Mugen Vent Visors from Kings Motorsports. Very friendly as well as great communication. They told me that the visors were on backorder for a week and they didn't charge my credit card until they visors where in and shipped. (Shameless plug).

Back to topic.

First when you open the box you will find a small bag containing eight clips and an adhesion promoter. You will also find instructions in Japanese, so that's useless unless you can read and understand Japanese.

I then called Kings Motorsports to see if they could help me understand the issue I has which is the clips and which ones go where. There are two different types of clips (A) has a notch and (B) doesn't have a notch. You should have two of (A) clips and six of (B) clips.

The two clips with notches go on the rear visors and in the hole that is closest to the the front of the car.

The other six clips are the same so it doesn't matter where those are place.

Next you will need to remove the window rubber molding (to make things easier).

Now you will install the clips on the visors first, to ease frustration later.

Next place a strong piece of tape(packaging tape) on the long orange backing to make it easier to pull off when the visor is placed on the car.

Now remove the smaller orange backing and make sure you like where the visor is being placed, use your judgement.

Press firmly on the visor so now the small pieces of tape is hold up the visor.

Take the piece of tape you placed (should be sticking up) and pull to remove the long orange backing and then press firmly all the way across.

The adhesive is extremely sticky.

Re-install window rubber molding.

Now repeat for the other three windows and then step back and enjoy your new Mugen Vent Visors.

Sorry, I didn't take any pics while installing. Sorry guys. Hope this helps though.

Good install DIY, but it would be much more helpful with photos.

I'm guessing you can't really go back and take it off to take pics with the adhesive and all

[I Vtec, do you?]

Yeah, always accompany a DIY with pics for the people like me

And me haha

But thanks, the information about the clips was very helpful. The packing tape idea was good as well!

[mijc13]

When removing the window rubber molding how much pressure does it take? Do you remove all of it?

[babaki]

i didnt know those clips had to go in a special spot. i just put them all on however i pulled them out of the package. it took me a good 20 minutes to figure out how to install the clips.

It does take some force, however it's just the top part of the molding.

yeah, I know pics would have helped out A LOT, however this was an after thought since Kings Motorsports didn't get back to me until after I figured it out and was told they didn't know(not a bad thing, since they probably aren't Japanese either).

So if you do have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via PM or just post on this thread.

I JUST installed mine. I will be posting pics shortly. Eventhough this DIY had no pics, install was pretty straight forward.

Thanks for adding the pics.

[mijc13]

You guys are my heroes haha. Thanks

[dnv]

Very nice, thanks for this.. I'm thinking of getting a set.

[boostedLSb18]

You will love them. I switched from the AVS In-Channel to these and the Mugens are better, they don't stick out as much as the AVS ones do nor do they interfere with the windows rolling up as the AVS ones.


Note to Mods: Can we sticky this or move it to the DIY section? Thanks.

I assume if I want to tint my windows that I should do it before installing these visors. LOL

tint goes on the inside, so it doesnt matter.

[tsltd]

It will make the tinter's job easier if you get the windows tinted first. The Mugen visors do slightly touch the outside of the window and also doesn't allow the tinter to measure the tint before he cuts, unless he's using the new computer program that pre-cuts the tint for him.

Like he said, if the film is computer-cut its doesn't matter which you get done first. Although, I've got the visors as well and when I got my tint, the shop made it sound like the in-channel visors might be an issue even for computer-cut film. I'm thinking maybe they would interfere with the tint at the top and possibly tear it or affect adhesion.

nice diy

i remember doing that in the hot hot sun and it was a pain... but only for the first one... figuring out how to pull out the weather strip.... i ended up just using my hands and pulling it out... so easy haha

best looking visors ftw!!
